Sex with prostitute

Jun 24, 2013

Hi doc,
I have been to Australia. i had protected sex with sex worker in legal Melbourne brothel.she kissed me deeply. I am not sure whether she had bleeding gums . I came back to India after 2 months . After 4 months i had sex with her, i got tiny red spots on my both the feet. I consulted dermatologist, he said they are mosquito bites. Now i shifted to north india from south, Now im getting red spots on my feet and n my hands. I am not sure whether they are mosquito bites or not. I am very fair in color . these spots are bright red. And i got a small bump on pubic area. it is not red but its same as my skin color. i am really worried now, are this symptoms of HIV or any STD????

Response from Dr. Hightow-Weidman

Hello there-
Your symptoms do not sound like acute HIV and having engaged in protected sex, this would be unlikely. Other STDs (such as syphilis) is possible and I would suggest being tested for these. Take care,
